[@3htthexy]

​@@DellConagher1I have no idea how you watched this whole video and came to the conclusion that the adaptive strategies were not that important

[@3htthexy]

@@DellConagher1 yea, i still dont know how you watched this whole video and your takeaway was "throw util A then go B" is the whole playbook in pro play valorant. kinda wild that thats all you understand, high level valorant is more than just randomly throwing utility lol. in literally any sport you can get countered by extremely good or fluke plays, that means nothing. sounds like big copium to say a 3k can counter anything so strats are meaningless

It was really impressive to see this go from an entertaining channel to a cinematic and awe-inspiring channel. I don't play Valorant at all, only taking experience from CS to understand and I'm able to follow these videos wonderfully. The new visuals and even better storytelling and raising the stakes to the occasion is better executed here than most films I've seen. Telling the story not just through the players's plays but how the teams adapt and giving hints as to why a team won and what they needed to do to win while giving tips to players is SO much value in a single video.

[@angelbravo7071]

My favorite was Round 17 "Variations" at @9:59 was because it drove home the idea of thee "Hookah Flood" + showing how PRX used that strat and made multiple versions of it... and hinted that they'd continue to do so. And at the end of it, you showed the visual of the Hookah flood and added onto it which I loved the image. I also appreciated how you chose to not only include the B-Hit hookah rounds but also added the A-hit rounfs and showed how they slowly learned how to play that site when not doing the Hookah Flood! ------------------- As someone who watches a lot of Valorant esport matches, I normally end up watching a lot of youtube videos breaking down the match afterwards. I normally zone out or lose interest in most videos because 1.) I either feel like the analysis isn't great because it's too surface level, 2.) Not enough editing to help the viewer understand the round through visual aids and lastly 3.) They prioritize shorter videos so they end up leaving out a lot of crucial rounds of the game and skim over them thinking the viewer will understand and follow along. I normally watch those at 2.0x speed, lol. You, however, have been the first to make a video that I feel like is VERY in-depth, the visual aids were so helpful and also very creative. You weren't afraid to add lots of rounds and let them play out and you pointed out how they impacted the match. All this while being very entertaining and positive. I loved the video and will definitely be on the lookout for future videos. Keep up the amazing work, the effort put into this analysis didn't go lost on me and I appreciate it so much! You earned my subscription :) I had to slow this video down to pay attention to everything and enjoyed every second of it. Edit: Turns out I was already subscribed LMAO. I just didn't notice the channel name change until now + the new editing style threw me off. I'm excited for this new change :)

As someone who loves seeing strategies unfold in different games, and someone who doesn't play as much valorant as many others here probably do, I still thoroughly enjoy your content and find myself back over and over again just to admire the players coming together to move as if pieces on a chess board and the individuals a single mind to play for the win. Your explanations are amazing and helps so much for me to enjoy valorant as an esport. I'm not a fan of the current state of the casting in Valorant and feels it will need some time before it can reach the seasoned style many CSGO commentator has. This style of content is amazing and hearing your genuine excitement to explain these strategies is just amazing
